life in clifton
As to the 9/11 stuff, the most gripping picture for me was of the people covered in ashes walking side by side. 9/11 was tragic but out of that tragedy came a united front like New Yorkers have never seen. We saw the worst in humans being met with the best.I too think of Tim and as we approach the anniversary of his passing I can feel the tears streaming down my cheeks. I ask myself what this year will bring or even this day.I think in keeping with Ellen I will begin a life list. Today I was somewhat disappointed because I talked to Cal and she said she had already spoken to Dr. DeMeis at Hobart. I called and left a message for Dr. DeMeis and sent one final e-mail. Now I wait for a response but in any event I know I've given it my best shot. I can't wait for Em to be done with RIT and Tara Keuka. It's so exciting to watch them take on the world.I also came up with this brainstorm that one of these times when Steve's travelling Mom and I will get a room by Eastview and have a girls night. We can shop a little rest, do dinner, see a movie. I think that would do her good.It would also give Steve and Riss a break. It's hard for me to balance so many different roles but I am lucky. It's a good day to live MacDougal.

Mom,
I enjoyed reading your post today (not to say I don't any other day). I like your attitude with the whole Hobart thing. You've given it your best shot and that is all that matters.

Thanks for sharing you 9/11 thoughts, even if they are a few days late. They inspired me today.

Getting Gram out sounds good. I know you are being tugged in so many different directions. I don't think I could ever live in your shoes for more than a day or two. You are one strong woman and someday, I hope to be just like you.

Love ya!
